A couple of years ago in upstate New York, a man was preparing a fireworks display for the party he and his wife were having to announce the gender for their expected child. The day before the party, the man and his brother decided to test their creation.

It blew up killing the man and severely injuring the brother. Not worthy of a Darwin Award as his wife was already pregnant. I never found out if it was a boy or a girl.

What a stupid thing to do.
